08 Fg Xr6T Ute

[camo86T]

Fitted up the 20mm hubcentric wheel spacers to the rear end yesterday

 

 

Now the offset looks half normal, will post pics when washed

that's one fat bugger of a spacer should certainly make it look good

Wheel bearings hate him

^^Point taken

What are your thoughts on longevity ralph?

I did think about the extra strain given the additional 'bending moment' (for want of a better word)...then bought them anyway, about $70 delivered off ebay

 

Not the best option by any means

But I am the antithesis of peter when it comes to wheels, these have been on it since the day I picked up the ute in Nov 08...

The force acted upon the bearing with a spacer is similar to a wheel with negative offset

[Ralph Wiggum]

I'm only stirring mate. No different to running a wheel with the same total offset. People get bent out of shape (pun intended) about spacers yet OEM's such as Porche have used them from factory.

 

If they are quality units installed correctly I see no issue.

Lol oops yeh true

 

I wouldn't go out and say they're the duck's nut by any means, but machined finish was smooth and snug on the hub, studs were marked 10.9, I think they should be ok
